<\/a>Chopin is a big name in this city, so why not follow the trail and head to his former hangout? \u00a0Honoratka is one of the oldest restaurants located in the Old Town. It is dated back to 1826 when it was just a cafe visited by famous Polish writers and musicians including Chopin.\u00a0You\u2019ll find several bits and pieces celebrating their most famous guest, as well as the usual medley of hunters trophies stretched out across the five vaulted cellars.\u00a0Now it offers both indoor and outdoor facitilites. If you visit Warsaw during summer, I recommend to dine outdoors on a courtyard very close to the Old Marketplace but separated from the noise and rush. There is a wide choice of Polish main meals, soups and side dishes. ![\"\"](\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/polish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2011\/09\/217166_140437249358243_124234384311863_241407_2815156_n.jpg\")
<\/a>Each guest is offered a free set of bread, grease and pickled cucumbers (smalec z og\u00f3rkami kiszonymi<\/em>)\u00a0– really tasty and traditional – as you are waiting for your meal to be prepared. As a side dish try Polish pierogi or potatio pies with cream – made exactly as Polish grandma’s did. Meat meals are really tender and well prepared.\u00a0Furthermore the menu is no slouch either, and reads like something you\u2019d find at a Shakespearean banquet; order mugs of mead alongside dishes like venison and boar.<\/p>\nMy brother, who lives in Warsaw, suggested the place to me. While my husband’s family was visiting Poland, we all had a great dinner there. At the end, before we left, we all had to take shots brought as a gift to our table.<\/p>\n
Here is \u00a0a map, but if you ask people on the street, you should get direction pretty easy as well:<\/p>\n
